iMessage no notification automatically marked as read

Hi all!

For the past week my phone is automatically marking messages from one contact as read even though I receive no notification for this. I watched it happened as well... screen lights up, no notification comes through (including on lock screen, notification center, or banner), open messages, see a new message that's been marked as if I've read it... I have no clue how to fix this.

Here's what I've done already:

Turn off/on message notifications
Sign out/in of imessage
Deleted conversation with specific contact that this is happening with
Turned off iMessage forwarding
Force restart iPhone
Fully restored iPhone

iPhone XS Max running ios 14.2

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello treygarz,

We understand that you're not receiving notifications from one contact. There can be a few causes, so let's look into this together.

First, review the settings here and be sure it isn't set to Deliver Quietly: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Additionally, check and be sure that this contact isn't blocked. Here's how to check: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!
